Transport

We currently use Kawasaki Versys 300 and Honda XRE 300 motorcycles. These bikes are the absolute best motorcycles to use when touring Colombia. These bikes are also great for group tours where riders have varying levels of skill. They have soft power and easy-to-ride character allows which allows riders to break into the adventure bike world, while having enough power and features for veteran riders to enjoy as well. I always say that the bikes are big enough to be fun but small enough to be safe. The bikes are lightweight and easy to handle while driving as well as at slow speeds and are easy to back out of small spaces in parking lots etc where the weight and bulk of a heavier bike would be a challenge. The size of the motorcycles also allows riders to safely put their feet down when coming to a stop. The 300cc motors are also powerful for long distance trips and also great for riding 2up.

      Day 1: Puerto Berrio

  • Day 3 Day 3: Muzo

      Day 3: Muzo

      Today we take the motorcycles to Muzo, Boyacรก the world capital of emeralds. Muzo is known not only for the quantity of emeralds in produces, but also for their superb quality and color with the Muzo mine producing the worldโ€™s highest quality gems known for their warm, grassy-green color, with hints of yellow.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Muzo
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Muzo

      Today we visit the Emerald mining area. In the 1980โ€™s drug dealers fought the countryโ€™s leading emerald mining families for rights to the emeralds. The mine owners fought back, turning Muzo into the most dangerous place in Colombia and by the end of the decade more than 6,000 people had been killed. Inevitably - as is often the case in Colombia - many of them were civilians caught up in the gun battles between rival paramilitary forces. Now Muzo is a peaceful and beautiful place where we will be able to watch informal emerald miners known as guaqeros scour the river beds along the Itoco river in the Muzo valley in search of the precious stones. This is a great opportunity for documentary photography as well as a chance to speak with emerald miners about life in the mining camps and surrounding areas.

  • Day 5 Day 5: Medellin
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Medellin

      The adventure isnโ€™t over yet. Get ready from off road motorcycle riding as we leave from Muzo and drive through the heart of the Colombias Emerald mining zone passing through the towns of Coscuez and Otanche. The area is extremely remote but at the same time very beautiful and awe inspiring. We drop down from the mountain range and cross the plains of colombia again before winding up into the mountain range of Medellin and ending the trip back home in the beautiful Aburrรก valley.
